Honestly such a great hidden gem. Great sandwiches, always a great atmosphere. You can tell this is a family run shop with love. 1 year update: Leona is without a doubt one of the most active and supportive members of the new west small business community, and it shows in the support the community returns to her and her small diner. More businesses in Sapperton and the greater city need to take her lead, she is a shining example of exactly the kind of small business owner that we need to encourage and support. Go pay her a visit, you will not regret it. Mac daddy, double meat, grilled. read more

Came here on Saturday just after 12 pm for sandwiches and soups. It was not that busy but the crowd came in shortly after we got seated. We decided to share the flight of soup and a sandwich (Turkey Elaine). The flight of soup consisted of 3 mini bowls of soup (your choice) and it came with a cheese scone for $10. We had chili (delicious), wicked Thai chicken (always a crowd favorite) and roasted garlic tomato (tasty). The cheese scone was really good, buttery fluffy soft. I preferred this over the raspberry whites chocolate scone. The Turkey Elaine ($8.95) was freshly made on the spot. The Kaiser bun was warm and soft and went well with the Turkey, stuffing and cranberry. We ended the meal with the must get peanut butter square ($3.25). It was a wonderful start to our day. read more

I looked up chicken noodle soup as my fave spot stopped making it, and thought I would give this place a try. I can see why it was packed busy when I went in. Super friendly fast service, heaps of soup and sandwich options. It was also easy to park and had a nice little patio. This is classic soup and sandwich style, very nostalgic! read more

Great food at a great price! Lots of house made soups. Sandwiches made to order. My chicken salad sandwich was packed full. I added dill pickles which made it perfect. There is serve yourself coffee and a selection of pastries. I will be back. Parking is tight in the lot. read more

Greens & Beans Deli - Peanut butter squares~ - Delis Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Choo choo!! A train that delivers your food?! What an amazing little deli and cafe. My kids *loved* it. They wanted to order more delicious sandwiches and muffins just so the Canadian National would bring it to our table. There are an overwhelming amount of things to order on their menu so I went with a cheese croissant which was tasty. The staff is friendly and seem to know all of their customers. I'll definitely be back. Leona even let my daughter's sock monkey sit on the train for a photo! This place is a gem in Sapperton. read more

Wicked Thai chicken soup was very satisfying!!! This place hosted "the soup nazi" from Seinfeld as a charity fundraiser for fighting BC fires. The line was long but the staff stayed friendly and personable. After the long 2 hour wait met to meet The Soup Nazi the soup did not disappoint! I ordered the Wicked Thai soup. It was delicious! Next time in the area I will most definitely stop by for more Wicked Thai. Pleasantly surprised by this little hole in the wall. read more

Greens & Beans Deli - THE SOUP NAZI!!! Serving soup for charity. He stayed in character the whole time! Screaming NEXT and NO SOUP FOR YOU!!! - Delis Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

Lunch Greens and Beans Deli New Westminster (across from Royal Columbia Hospital) Deli Casual Family friendly Service excellent Food excellent Free parking lot https://www.greensandbeansdeli.com Craving attacks for Leona's comfort foods lead me to drive straight to Greens and Beans. Why? 1. The never seen before variety of sandwiches! This last visit I was too lazy to read the menu, so I asked for some thing with bacon and turkey and they have exactly what I wanted...by name! Feels like all the sandwiches were custom made for anyone! 2. The soups are da bomb . She would have at least 3 kinds daily pipping hot! People would just to take them home as part of their dinner! Which one's my favorite? All of them but psst...try the Thai if you can't decide. 3. The Chilli! This deserves a category on on its own! After my lunch, I took a large bowl home for dinner and transferred into a bowl that has gold "Love you" on it! Sometimes I add some cheese too! Even my pup can't stop drooling ! Ok enuf said, just the !!!! 4. Value! The amount of potion and prices are not something that I can just go and buy from a grocery store and DIY! Leona puts so much ingredients & effort in her food, including her famous scones and sweet treats that makes cooking myself seems like a chore. 5. The ambiance. I remember the first time I was there, the sandwich was delivered to me by a train! What a surprise! It brought out the kid in me! I notice the energy is amazing in this old tiny place. Patrons from all walks of life come and left with smiles or a vibe that's happy (I don't know how to describe that). 6. The heart . Leona Green is well known in the community for her charity work not only in the New West community but also overseas! I'm amazed by her small profit (judging from her food prices and the food cost these days) yet, unselfishly give to those in need such as donation drives for Lytton fire victims, the homeless, free scones/food to drive donation participations and 3rd world countries! It's a shame that recently that she had to stop baking because her 16 yr old oven broke down. She can't bake until it's fixed or buy a new one which either way is a large expense. I really home that she will get the support she needs by having even more customers. Whenever I come, I feel that I'm not Just supporting the locals, with Greens and Beans, I'm supporting something even greater! Please take your time to view all the photos and even google this place! #deli #chili #sandwiches #bakery #soup #salad #supportlocal Kindly comment / recommend your favorites from here! *This review was based on my personal opinion subjected to my taste, experience and expectations.

Definitely a deli I have to return to because while my sandwich tasted great, I wasn't blown away by my choice or the creole chicken soup. That being said, Green's & Beans Deli has a huge menu and outstanding reputation in the area. The customer service was really solid and the price/value was amongst the best you will see for the level of quality provided. read more

Right up front, I'm going to say that I am a regular here, right down to having my picture on the wall along with about 100 others. Now that I've got that out of the way... Greens & Beans offers up an excellent assortment of sandwiches and a rotating list of tasty soups. As mentioned by other reviewer's, there's a love affair with Larry Thomas' Soup Nazi character - from the picture in the window to a triggered "No Soup for You!" sound-bite you'll probably get to hear at least once during a visit. The Jeopardy theme will be played at least once as well, depending on how slow people are while ordering.... you've been warned. The atmosphere is very home-style and the constant banter reminds me of a family kitchen table. The owner has cultivated and crafted this over the past 17 years and three different locations and she's got it down solid. The food quality is second to none. The sandwiches are crafted to order -- no pulling of pre-made sandwiches from a cooler here. The soup selection is constantly rotating so you're not stuck staring at the same boring thing for a week. There's also a decent selection of other lunchable items in the cooler if a sandwich isn't your fancy. To sum it up -- this is a great spot to go for lunch. I strongly recommend a visit. read more

Greens & Beans Deli - Delis Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

The best sandwich shop in Sapperton and frankly, anywhere. Perfect lunch. Community minded. All around great.

I was at the Holland shop and had heard so many great things about this place. Apparently they are famous for their scones. I can not speak to that. But they had amazing sandwiches. The only problem there is picking which one to have. I went with elaines turkey. Basically a turkey dinner sandwich. And home made tomato soup. Both were good. But i liked the soup better because i love homemade soup. So if you are a soup and sandwich person like me you will love it. read more

Excellent sandwiches. I recommend the green bandit. Chicken. Bacon. Hot sauce. Soooo good. Never cared for the soups but I'm not a soup person. The owner and her son are wonderful and have a fun humor that is on the darker side but make the experience one of a kind. If you can't handle it go somewhere else. Quit being so snobby. Welcome to New west! read more

I have never in my life encountered such a highly praised, respected and giving deli / restaurant. The owner regularly shares Free coffee & scones for her valued patrons. (Always delicious!), & on a regular basis. An establishment focused more on kindness than top dollar absolutely deserves a 5+ star rating. Thank you. read more

I've only been here a couple of times, but it's amazing! So many options.. friendly staff and great prices. If you're hungry and in New West, pay them a visit. read more

Greens & Beans Deli - Delis Near Me - New Westminster, British Columbia

This place has been an established breakfast and lunch place in New West for years. The sandwiches are always made to order and their Grilled Cheese is awesome. The daily soup and sandwich special is always a good choice if you can't decide on some thing. However, placing your order can be challenge. The staff have a "dry" sense of humour, which may come across a rude. But after going there for the late couple years, I understand that this is their way to make the customers feel at home! Great place for a homemade sandwich and soup... read more

A beautifully run, community involved deli with reasonable prices and a warm atmosphere

Just had lunch here today after many years last visit. Would have rated 5 stars but could have more vegan options. Good variety of hot and cold sandwiches and soups. They cater and deliver with a tiny electric car! Fast service free parking and the cutest little train to bring your sandwich to your table! You can eat in or take out, pay at time of order or if eating in, pay after. Good location. Prices are average. For small cup of soup and a veggie wrap was over $8 read more

Great value and a personality to boot! Great Lunch Food I recommend the Chili or Wicked Thai soup to go along with your sandwich. Their soup and sandwich special changes daily and it typically will run around $7bucks. I eat there often. The sandwiches are made to order and you can pretty much have what you want. If you ask, they will offer a long list of types of bread. My favorite sandwich is the Transit but coming up a close second is the Corned Beef. Wicked Thai soup is wonderful. There are typically 4-5 different soup choices (one of these may be a chili). Personality That's what most people say. You will not get that restaurant chain experience. What you will notice is that they know a lot of the regulars by name and it has a nice warm cafe feel to it. Experience You can pay when you order or as a regular pay after you eat. It depends on if there is a line. Sometimes there is a line of people but the team at Greens 'N Beans work to make it move quickly and keep it fun. If you get a soup option you just grab a bowl and fill it yourself. Seating Consideration: : It is a a cafe so expect small tables. I've seen a group of 8 manage to sit together but this is very rare as it is a small cafe. If it is a nice day, you will find it a little busier as more local business employees will be heading down. Most of these however will take out. Personally if I plan to ensure I get a seat, I get there five minutes before noon and have never had a problem. We clean up our stuff and leave it tidy for the next person. Gratuities They don't accept gratuities but instead they have a jar to collect for various needs of the world. If you want to say an extra thanks, think about joining them in helping the world be a better place by dropping some coins in one of the jars. read more

A signed photograph of the Soup Nazi (from Seinfeld) hangs above the kettles of soup at Greens and Beans. This cafe looks pretty humble, but they do make some excellent soups, such as the Wicked Thai Chicken. They also make some so-so soups, such as the Vegetable I had on my last visit. There's usually a selection of four or so soups on any given day, so you just choose what looks good and hope for the best. The sandwiches are getting better and better, though. The saving grace of my last visit was the Big Nasty, stuffed with thick sliced corned beef and roast beef, red and yellow peppers, and barbecue sauce. Damn! I mean that in a good way. But the presentation and extras are everything, and I wonder why Greens and Beans still feels the need to serve everything on icky white styrofoam, and with plastic spoons and dinky napkins. I can appreciate the nostalgic touch of the little packets of premium plus crackers, but c'mon. Are they just trying to save dishwashing costs? Are they out to lunch on this whole environmental fad? Why, when the food is generally so good, do I have to feel so guilty about it? read more

Just adding another voice to those that have gone before me. Feeling grateful that it caught my eye while heading down columbia past the old brewery site. Lots of sandwiches to choose from, in wraps or subs or on an assortment of breads. I got the Soup and Sandwich combo with a full thick ham and cheese on multigrain and a Wicked Thai soup that I grabbed before reading the reviews. I am 100% on board with what has been said. It is a nice rich flavourful soup with a bit of a kick. I will definitely return! read more

My husband and I have seen this place while passing by many times and thought we've got to try it. So yesterday for lunch we did just that. I had the veggie sandwich and everything in it was very fresh. Looks like everything is made fresh too down to all their desserts and soups. You have a large selection of breads to choose from for your sandwich. The menu is pretty extensive and there is something for all. Definitely will be back! read more

New West's best kept secret. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly, the menu has many options and the owner has a hilarious soundboard she uses intermittently. The decor is fun but not over-the-top. I love to have a coffee here! Everyone is welcome. read more

Very cute and friendly restaurant for a soup and sandwich! I loved their large selection of sandwiches and different soups. The service was super fast which was a plus, considering that I think the vast majority of customers work nearby and come in for lunch. Where this restaurant fell short, however, was the value. For a sandwich and a medium soup, I paid somewhere between $10 and $11 and I didn't feel very full afterwards because the sandwich was on the smaller side. A part of me felt that I would have been more satisfied with a $7 sandwich at Subway, but I'll admit that the sandwich here was tastier - just much smaller and a little more expensive. read more

Recently moved to the neighborhood and stopped by Greens & Beans based on a friend's recommendation. There's nothing fancy about this place ... pretty standard diner vibes + a train (more on this later). The lady who runs the place is quirky and hilarious... you'll the quirks right away when you look at the menu board and see her $1,000,000 pizza sub. My girlfriend and I tried two sandwiches, the pizza sub (she gave me a break on the price) and Collin's concoction. They are not gourmet sandwiches by any means... very home style. However, they are absolutely delicious, cheap, and hefty! Back to the train... if you are dining in and you sit on the outer perimeter, there's a toy train that delivers your sandwiches from the food counter. Just another added bonus. I look forward to future visits! read more

Okay... I love this place. As soon as you go in, the first thing you recognize is the photo of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld on the wall. The dude's mug glares at you from a special spot on the wall of fame, and beside it, a newspaper clipping of when he visited the cafe a while back. Why did he visit and what makes the Greens and Beans cafe so special? One word... their soup... Okay, two words.... Their soup is awesome. They run out so damn quick that usually i'm stuck with just broth from the thai chicken or a few mushrooms covered in cream from the mushroom soup. But when i come on time, and the soup is hot, i'm at a loss for words. The thai chicken is worth the trip to New Westminster. Its a classic blend of spicy thai and some kind of flavored chicken that works well together. They have beef barley sometimes that kicks azz. What makes this place even more special is the fact that it's family owned and operated. They are very good hosts and serve your food quickly, professionally and it tastes great. It closes at 3pm, and the soup is usually gone by then. So get there early and bon appetite! If the soup nazi shared his recipe for success with them, then you know you're in for a treat. read more

My daughter and I had the pleasure of having lunch in this little gem of a spot on July 27. Two words: exceptional experience. On this particular day, the electricity was out meaning the debit/credit machine was also down. I thought we would have to move on to some other place, but to my surprise...no. The owner said "go ahead and order. Come back and pay us later. We trust you." What?? Who does that?? Oh wait. A small family run business that has served the community for 12 years. My daughter and I stayed and had lunch...the chili, which is made twice a week, was delicious as were the sandwiches. The service was incredible and personable. The owners son was on hand chatting up those few people finishing up their food. I eat out a lot for business and have experienced my fair share of the good, the bad and the ugly in terms of restaurants, food and service. Greens and beans ranks up there as one that will remain memorable. Trust. Wow! Looking forward to coming back here. Oh...and I didn't have to come back to pay. I just happened to have two cheques with me...and I used one of them to pay for lunch. Go check this spot out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sometimes you're just lazy and you don't write reviews for your favorite haunts because they're everyone else's too. I was perusing the ol' Yelp when I came upon a delightful review about the germ infested cuisine at Green's & Beans. It really floored me, so now I'm motivated to give you the "real" 411. I discovered the place when I was going through cancer treatment. I'm stating this because you have to be very careful of what you eat when your immune system is compromised by chemo. During this fun period of my life, the ladies (and Matt) always took care of me. I never once had a cross thought about their food handling. The gals religiously wash their hands after they deal with cash. Beyond all this, they have way too many hospital workers who wouldn't let them get away with any sort of BS. The place is fun with eclectic decor. Make sure you ask them what kind of bread they have for a little surprise. Their clientele is a mixed bag, neighborhood folk, hospital employees, city councilors, and worker bees and execs from Translink. Here's my little (positive) rant. The owners and their workers do a ton for local charities. This past weekend Greens & Beans raised $800 for a local church so that it could get a new furnace. I'm not crazy about organized religion, but this specific house of worship does so much for the community, like holding AA meetings. Leona is always raising money for other causes, the train explosion in Lac-Mégantic, homeless charities, etc. Ask her to help and she'll do it. Okay so the gushing is over, now let's get down to dollars and sense. You can't get a fresh meal elsewhere for $6.50 (daily special). That's a full sandwich and a small cup of soup. I like the aspect of supporting a small business that gives a rat's *** about their local community. read more

By far the best deli around. Catering is tremendous and lunch truck options have never disappointed. Probably the best egg salad sandwich I've ever eaten. The staff is friendly and the service is second to none. Do yourself a favour and eat here! read more

This may be the best soup place there is in the lower mainland. The sandwiches are fresh and homemade and for a great lunch I've never been disappointed. Also, kids love the train used to deliver your homemade lunch so don't miss this place if you are in the neighbourhood. read more

I give Greens & Beans a very solid three stars. I have been there several times recently and while I have been slightly underwhelmed so far, I haven't necessarily been disappointed, nor would I say that I have had a bad experience. G&B's is a very good option in the Sapperton area for sandwiches and soups. However, there is not much selection in the area, unless you want an expensive chain experience at both the nearby Brown's Social House and Take Five Cafe. Pros: - They have THE BEST, made from scratch, homestyle, hearty soups. If you love soup, this place is for you! The chili is great as well. I will visit this place again and again solely for the soups! - All of their sandwiches and wraps are made fresh to order. They taste so fresh because they really are! -The staff is very efficient and focused; even when very busy, I have not had to wait too long at all. -Eat in or take out. If you eat in, your order will arrive via the model train that runs along the windows. A very whimsical and fun feature! Cons: -I do not like the coffee. It is very watered down and not of high quality, in my opinion. -The staff do not seem all that friendly. They are polite, but very much lack any smiles or cheerfulness. I felt awkward the first few times because I was unsure if they were tired, unfriendly, bitchy, or just having a bad day. They just don't seem very happy. I just wish that they would smile more. -I wish they would use oven roasted turkey and other meats instead of the typical deli style, sliced, cured meats. It would really make the sandwiches extra flavorful. -The lady that takes your payment also prepares some food, but I have seen her go back and forth from the cash register without washing her hands in between. When they are so busy that she feels she doesn't have time to wash her hands after handing the register, then they really need to dedicate an employee to non-food handling tasks to avoid this problem. Having said this, I have seen by far, much worse food safe practices at many other restaurants, but it does not excuse this, and it really needs to be corrected. Overall, if you looking for a simple, fresh, hearty, quick lunch experience in the Sapperton/Brewery District of New Westminster, I highly recommend Greens & Beans Deli. read more

This café is a great place for lunch in a busy area. I love getting my morning email letting me know what is on special for the day so I can plan what I want cause its also busy but Leona and her team work hard to make it a smooth process. I recommend anyone in the area to stop by and try a fresh soup or yummy sandwich. She also has lots of other treats ( which she makes herself) get on the email list and see all sorts of funny jokes and even earn a lunch or treat..... read more

I went here a while a go for lunch and ordered a sausage roll to go along with my soup. The rolls are situated very close to the cash register. The cashier handled some change and then grabbed a sausage roll from the display case and handed it to me with her unsanitized fingers. Noticing the fail in food safe etiquette, I asked for another roll and she repeated her blunder. I had to explain to her that I prefer that she uses a sanitary method to serve me my sausage roll. She did not apologize for her actions. She simply grabbed a near by tissue paper and handed me my sausage roll. Then she placed the contaminated sausage rolls back inside the display case for other customers. That was the last time I went here. However, my friends don't mind the severe food safe violations and enjoy the germ infested food served here. read more
